my mom gave me a couple of options for my first car.
1. one is that she would buy me a car for $3,000 and i would have to pay her back half of that. her friend has a red honda civic with a sunroof and is willing to sell it to us for that price.
2. another option is for her to give me her current car (an infinite with a sunroof that's 5 years old). this may not be true, but i think she may make me buy it from her for $1,500.
3. the kind of car i want is a convertible bug (volkswagon) or a bug with a sunroof. in the newspaper, they're as cheap as $7,000.
what should i do: option 1, 2, or 3? i don't want to pay for car insurance on a car that isn't the volkswagon i want (basically, i'm going to get a bug whether it's now or in a few years).

now onto the topic. i honestly would say if you can get the infinity for cheap/free then do it and use it to get a job and save up to buy your car. option two is the best one simply because it's the cheapest and could even be free if you play your cards right. plud infinity's are damn fancy and classy and would put you on the path to the car you want plus help you get a job.

because just because the cheapest is $7,000 doesn't mean that car needs tons of work
Mollysie answered Thursday July 20 2006, 9:13 am: Well I suggest you save up for the bug. I want that same car, but when I checked out the prices for a brand new one, it was 27,000$. There very pricey when you buy them brand new! You might want to check out what these $7,000 bugs look like, just so you don't save up and they are not at all what you expected! As far as the other cars go it seems like you would just be buying a car to get around, so if they both work, then I would go with the infinite because it's the least expesive. I think you should save up for your dream car, because that is the car your going to want to drive. Well Good luck! I hope I helped at all! I love feedback good and bad!
Love,
